Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
West Ham United to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n7\/4 @ Bet365<\/a>
(36.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWest Ham are strong favourites to secure a vital win against the league\u2019s bottom side. As of 31\/12\/25, Wolves are winless in 19 matches, sitting 20th with a league-worst -29 goal difference. Their attack is the weakest in the division, scoring only 11 goals (0.58 per game). Although West Ham are in the relegation zone, their attack is twice as potent, scoring 21 goals. The Hammers should comfortably overcome a Wolves side that is statistically the worst in the Premier League.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/6 @ Bet365<\/a>
(60.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThe defensive frailties of both sides strongly suggest both teams will score. As of 31\/12\/25, Wolves have failed to keep a single clean sheet in 19 league matches, conceding 40 goals (2.11 per game). West Ham are barely better, keeping only one clean sheet all season and conceding 38 goals (2.00 per game). Despite Wolves\u2019 league-low scoring record of 11 goals, West Ham\u2019s defensive instability provides a clear path for the hosts to find the net, ensuring a BTTS outcome.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
